Age of Apocalypse

With the help of Count Feilengcui, the publicity of the Nanshan District Government Affairs Office, and the news of the upcoming arrival of the Gio Chamber of Commerce, the sales of tulip porcelain gradually opened up, Perth's financial situation gradually improved, and the food on the table became increasingly abundant.

stand up.

After practicing in the early morning, Perth had a sumptuous breakfast under the service of his attendants. Butler Stone came over and said, "Mr. Nader, the consul, has asked for an audience and is already waiting for you."

"Wait a minute, I'll meet him in the study." Perth had already thought that Nader would definitely come to him after the order was issued. So Perth put down the tablecloth and said as if he was used to it.

...

In the study,

Nader said sincerely, "You know, not only will my work need to be shared by assistants, but the number of officials in the city hall will also need to be further expanded."

Obviously, Nader has his own thoughts on Perth's idea. After all, his decision to go to Perth was of great help to the continued development of the territory, establishing a good image, and better establishing order in the territory, and won the hearts of the people.

And if a new department is established, his other assistant, Susan, will have to take charge of the new department.

For the increasingly powerful Knights and the increasingly prosperous and rapidly developing Tulip Territory, the city hall, which still only has three or two kittens, not only cannot keep up with the pace of development, but also affects the restraint and prestige of the city hall within the territory, and even

Future government decrees will also be unfavorable.

Of course, Nader cannot say these things. But as a qualified political official, Nader can avoid these sensitive topics and speak out for fair reasons.

So in the study, Nader took advantage of the opportunity of establishing the "Manpower Administration" and the Woodland Hunting Ground in Perth to put forward his suggestions.

Perth understood this and even had an idea for it. He even expressed full support and said with a smile, "Consul Nader, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely find a suitable assistant to help you.

Moreover, I allow that as consul in the future, you will have a quota for two assistants, and the city hall will pay them a monthly salary of 60 silver Madrid.

In addition, staff in the departments under the city hall will receive a monthly salary of 50 silver Madrid. Each subordinate department can have corresponding officials, and you will have absolute power of recommendation and dismissal."

Nader also knew that this was the most satisfactory answer, but as for the idea of ​​building a special hunting ground in Perth, Nader thought about it and thought he still had to say it.

So he went on to say, "As your consul, of course I support your decision.

But I must tell you that you may not know that this requires additional payment on the basis of each knight's monthly salary of 3 golds in Madrid.

And you know, no one can guarantee that no one will poach, even people outside the territory. Therefore, it is very necessary to set up special rangers and patrol teams to patrol and supervise hunting grounds and forest lands at all times.

.

But these all require Madrid as the basic support."

It has to be said that as the consul, Nader has considered everything comprehensively. Although he has some small thoughts, this is what Perth is happy to see. After all, a harmonious political situation is not what he wants to see.

Perth is obviously not worried about money. His stable income of 600 gold per month from Feilengcui Nanshan Castle in Madrid is his confidence.

So he said nonchalantly, "What you said is right, Governor Nader, but we have to have confidence. I think the Gio Chamber of Commerce will not let us down, don't you think so?"

Nader, who had achieved his goal with Perth's explanation and confidence, knew very well that Perth would not lie.

Then he happily said, "Of course, my Excellency, the charm and value of porcelain are indisputable facts and a miraculous existence.

But we have to consider construction in the spring, as well as the increase in personnel and growing expenses."

Perth thought to himself that it was already good that the money allocated to the city hall last time could last until now. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I will allocate another 700 gold to you for the expenses of the town."

I think this is enough for the city hall to last until tomorrow spring."

Nader saw Perth being so generous and said happily, "Of course, and I promise you, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result!"

Perth is also thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the forest. As the owner of all the tulip land, he is not willing to turn the manpower and material resources spent into a public welfare industry.

After pondering for a long time, Perth continued, "In addition, there may be some opportunistic adventurers and mercenaries among the hunters in the forest. His tone asked everyone to travel thousands of miles to other places to trade. Maybe we can also establish a house to purchase prey.

Shop or tavern, and build a supply store next to the forest.

This will not only enrich and facilitate the lives of Tulip Town residents, but also make the town's economy more active, increase residents' income, and solve the job and livelihood problems of some townspeople, attracting more people to come here.

settle down."

Nader listened to Perth's words, quickly took out the parchment and recorded Perth's words, and praised excitedly, "You are really a genius, my Lord Baron!

This is undoubtedly great news for the residents of the territory, and your people will definitely praise your generosity and kindness even more!"

After the matter was settled, Perce remembered Steward Stone's words and said to Nader, "Okay, Mr. Nader, if there is nothing else, go ahead and do your work."

Housekeeper Stone is recently tidying up the tulip garden left by my mother, Mrs. Nagy, and I want to see it too."

"Nader excuses himself, Your Excellency Perth." Nader bowed and bowed, then left with a satisfied look on his face.

........

The back garden of Tulip Castle occupies a vast area, with towering trees, flower shapes of different postures, exquisite and beautiful statues, and even several flower gardens of various types.

Although the cold winter made them a little desolate, only a snow-pink plum blossom became the only decoration in the winter. It is not difficult to imagine that if it had not been abandoned for many years because of the death of Baroness Nagy, then when spring and summer came, it would have

What a beautiful scene.

Naji Forbes, who created all of this, as the mother of the Sun Elf, the former Baroness of Tulip, Countess of Florence, and Perth, must be such an imaginative person.

Perth wore a snow-white mink cloak and walked alone in the silver-covered back garden.

In fact, he was more curious about why Stone suddenly decided to renovate the "Tulip Garden". After all, these are not flowers that can bloom in winter.

It wasn't until I passed the winding and quiet gravel road in Perth that I realized that the former wall had collapsed at some point, and mottled moss had already climbed up the broken walls.

The originally exquisitely carved stone pillars collapsed on the stone steps due to the erosion of spring water emerging from the ground. The clear underground spring water gurgled down, and even the jagged rockery under the stone steps had turned into a small waterfall, and finally followed a

wild pond.

Even in the cold winter, there is no sign of freezing. Instead, it has some broken beauty and a bit of garden interest.

Even Perth, who has a strong soul, is keenly aware that there is a moist vapor flowing in the air here.

The light water element makes a sound from time to time with the sound of running water, turning into a blue halo rising and surging through the ground in winter, as if it is attracted by something.

Following the gathering of water elements, Perth walked into the garden wall entangled with vines and saw Stone and Chuck enthusiastically directing the serfs and servants to tidy up the overgrown tulip garden.

"Clear these weeds quickly. This will be the place where the most beautiful tulips will be born. Don't be careless!" Steward Stan ordered hurriedly.

Chuck on the side saw the energetic Old Stone and asked with some suspicion, "You came to me just to set up a magic circle to attract the water element in this deserted tulip garden?"

When Stan heard Chuck's skeptical tone, he not only said excitedly, "Listen, old man, even though you are an archdruid, you should not despise my ability as a "natural sensor"!"

Old Chuck touched the crystal emerald antlers on his head and said with some disgust, "I simply can't imagine why you had to choose such a useless profession as "Elemental User"!"

Obviously, although the "elemental user" can sense and understand the fluctuations of nature, Chuck Pan, as an archdruid, looks down on this profession that can only be passed down by blood.

Seeing Old Chuck's appearance, Steward Stan snorted arrogantly, "How can a superficial "Druid" understand the responsibilities of our "Elemental Envoys"? That is the mission given to us by nature. When I awaken the elemental bloodline,

When the time comes, I will definitely let you recognize the power of the "Elemental Envoy"!"

In fact, Perth knew the horror of the so-called "elemental user", and believed that Old Chuck also understood it.

However, the limitations of the elementalist are too great. If there is no bloodline of the elementalist in the body, it will be impossible to condense the spirit beads in the body and control the power of natural elements.

This has also led to the gradual loss of this ancient racial inheritance profession, and even disappeared in the historical torrent of Hogwarts.

But even though Old Chuck knew it, he seemed to be used to it, shrugged his shoulders and made a mocking look, and said, "Oh~ Really? I'm really scared!"

Butler Stone had no intention of arguing with Chuck, because he knew old Chuck's temper and would never end a fight, and besides, he still had a lot of work to finish.

Then he continued to sense the gathering of elements in this garden, and said, "This is nature's blessing. Whenever a new magic plant is about to be born, nature will bless her children and help her children thrive.

Bloom your own charm, just like you do now.

I seemed to hear the joy of the water element and feel the gentleness of the earth."

"Well, respected "Elemental User", can you tell me the reason and basis for your judgment?" As a Druid with combat attributes, Chuck obviously couldn't feel the gathering of elements, so he asked.

At this time, Perth, who had been watching for a long time, walked in and said with a smile, "I think Steward Stan judged the migration of underground water veins based on the pond outside the Tulip Garden, and thus felt the transpiration and surging water element.

You followed the traces and found this place, right?"

"Your Excellency Perth." The two of them turned around and saluted.
